House of Cards
Gonzalez is out. I wrote about Bush’s support before. According to CNN,
Bush said it’s “sad that we live in a time when a talented and honorable person” is impeded “from doing important work.”
What is the important work? Listening in on US citizens? Racing to the hospital to get a sick John Ashcroft to sign off on warrantless wiretaps? Refusing to answer questions about fired US Attorneys?
On the local front, Rick Renzi, whose integrity has been brought into question due to land deals that he voted on that he may have profited in and questions about his fund raising activities has chosen not to run in 2008. In the meantime he’s collecting his congressional paycheck despite the fact that he has resigned from all his committees. There has been a call for him to completely resign so that a special election can be held to replace him, but I doubt that will happen. Renzi is arrogant, and besides he has all those kids to feed.
The house of cards is falling one by one, and that’s a bad thing for Bush. I don’t think he had a full deck to start with.
